This morning my new office chair was delivered. Part of it was poking out of the box but it seemed to have escaped undamaged. Unfortunately when we opened the box another part was broken. The free next day delivery service seems to involve a lot of throwing things about and only a little padding.
To be fair, I got straight on the “live chat” section of their website and after ten minutes of chat and attaching photos it was all sorted. Packaging 0/10, customer service (so far) 10/10. However, I am waiting to see what happens before I become too optimistic. There’s a long way between promising something and delivering it.
In the evening I cooked roast veg, red cabbage, sausages and gravy and we had a healthy tea. I also cooked chickpea and sweet potato curry for Sunday. The plan is to make veggie burgers tomorrow as I had burger buns delivered tonight. Really we shouldn’t be eating all that bread but you can’t be good all the time.
This is my way of saving money and calories – if I have food and plans ready I am less likely to reach for a takeaway menu and the phone.
Chickpea and peanut butter thai red curry – almost chickpea and sweet potato
In between I put quite a lot of stuff on eBay for work and checked my medallion collection ready to start planning the talk. Miraculously, I found them all. They are in four different locations but they are all there. In size they vary from 16mm to 70mm so it’s not possible to house them all together. I’m thinking of ordering some new coin trays for one of my cases and in that case they might all go together, but that might just be an idle dream.
Top picture features vegetables that we were served at Carsington water in the days we used to go out.
I hope your replacement chair will arrive unscathed.
It’s arrived and the box is undamaged. Tomorrow we will open it . . .
Excellent!
🙂
I am very impressed that you were able to find all your medallions. You deserve a medal for that.
🙂 I will look on eBay and see what they have to offer in that line.
Sorry to hear about the chair. Delivery services both sides of The Pond seem to be having difficulties these days.
Partly due to us wanting cheap next day delivery – something has to give.
Too bad about the chair, but that curry sounds so good. As soon as I’m done with this comment, I’ll be looking up recipes.
🙂 We gave in and bought veggie burgers tonight, with salad. Julia also bought onion rings – it’s part of her plan to keep me looking unattractive to other women. 🙂
I think we all need something quick and good for nights when we’re just too tired to cook much of anything. As for the onion rings…what is life without some treats?
🙂 A philosophy that sees me where I am today – fat yet happy.
What a bummer about that chair
Ye, a real nuisance as my current one gradually sinks during the day. The other two derive great amusement from me sitting 6″ lower than I start at. :[)
